This invention is concerned with novel tn'azine compounds which have central nervous system depressant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.

More specifically itrelates to triazine compounds of the type shown by the formula V T A that the amino group A be-selected from the group consisting of primary amino and secondary amino radicals having not less than two and not more than eight carbon atoms and typical radicals include dimethylamino, pyrrolidino, morpholino, ethanolamino, diethanolamino, dimethylaminopropylamino, N-methylpiperazino, phenethylamino, amylamino and the like; 7

The new class of compounds are white crystalline solids which are readily rendered water-soluble as theirsalts with the strong mineral acids suchas hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid andthelike.

The compounds of this invention are distinguished by having at least three'types of amino nitrogen attachedto the tn'azine ring, the amino linkage at position 2, the heteroarylamino nitrogen at position 4 and the aminomethyl derivative at position 6 oflthe triazine ring.,

For the synthesis of the compounds of this invention a multi-step procedure is required. Treatment of indoline (or tetrahydroquinoline) in an aqueous medium contain-' ing one equivalent of hydrochloric acid, and one equivalent of dicyandiamide (or dimethyldicyandiamide) yields the biguanide shown below, isolated as the hydrochloride.
